Learning a language


Learning a language is like climbing a mountain. You must be well prepared and have necessary tools as well as good fit, patience and strong will.

I love learning languages, but what I find difficult is that it takes soooo much time & effort until the observable result shows.

I have been learning Dutch on my own for a year and a bit. It was not my main task, I had to do it in my free time from Ma studies and social activities which I, of course, needed.


Dutch language was something I started very enthusiastically, but then I threw it away and then I returned to it again.
If you ask me, of course, you can contemplate, "oh you could have tried more or you should have spent more time on studying Dutch",

but I think, I have made a big progress and I start feeling how some words and phrases should be used. Of course, the peak of a mountain is still far, but as I say, I have soaked up Dutch language. :)
